The war on terror should be won by hugs not bombs?

starseed

I think you are absolutely right. War goes back to the beginning of time and clearly it does not work so I think we need to go to Plan B and do the opposite. However, world peace begins within the individual. Before we can change the human condition we must first change ourselves. It is often easy to rally around a cause. It is far more difficult to look in the mirror and begin the work of inner transformation. All that we are eye witness to is but a mirror image reflecting the remains of evil that lay hidden and undetected in our own hearts. World peace begins with peace in your own heart.

It will never happen. Islam is set out to destroy and conquer. Read up on the subject before making ridiculous comments.

Fine. Go to the middle east and find an Al-Qeada representative and walk up to him and give him a hug. How long do you think it would take for your beheading to be on the internet? They don't need hugs, they need a bullet. All they want is us dead. So much so they will even have children just to send them out with a bomb strapped to them.

I think all you tree huggers should go over there and give them a hug. .......We do know, that is why our soldiers are over there. Jeez.........

crusinthru

Nice dream. But unfortunately the Islamic radicals wouldn't hug you back without a knife in their hands. Besides they stink of camel dung and poor hygene.

Crosseyed Kitty

Yeah, give an Islamic extremist a hug right before they saw your head off with a steak knife. THAT will work!

yeah, ok go and try to hug a terrorist, he'll only blow you up w/ himself in the process. I dont get how people think that diplomacy will work when the enemy is an enemy that would rather DIE than live! This isn't conventional warfare where the mutual goal is survival. Our enemy in this war is looking forward to dying, looking forward to martyrdom. How do you talk a person out of killing himself if he's sold on religious reasons to do so? You dont! Diplomacy w/ terrorists was the approach Clinton used, and it was only interpreted as weakness by the Islamic culture, and ultimately lead to 9/11.

Iâ€™m really sorry but these people want to kill us if we donâ€™t do things their way. I donâ€™t think were going to pull girls over the age of 10 out of all schools & not let them drive. Hell some of my best bosses have been women. SORRY - I really wish you were right.

Hug all the terrorist you want, but shoot them soon after. If you don't, they will.

Well, theories are great until a suicide bomber hugs you while you are boarding a bus....that would be quite a hug.

The war on terror will never be won with bombs. It will be impacted by precise intelligence and covert military operations. It requires a different mind set. We need to develop more a police work mind set and greatly upgrade our SWAT capabilities.

We need to change our entire mindset.

sglmom

Right -- why don't you start with the first suicide bomber you meet and see how that goes over!

Liberal Tree-Hugger. You go give a terrorist a hug, and then you will be shot.

betterdeadthansorry

Yes we'll never know whether it may work...but the chances are even higher that it will not work, because in case you did not know...these terrorists are out to create an evil Empire and they hate anyone who is not like them no matter what you do.

And by the way...by the time they get tired blowing us up and beheading us...we'll already be dead. Sorry but I have no intention of giving these filthy terrorists that satisfaction...

Maybe you should try and hug them...I'll keep my distance (a good 1 mile away)...tell us if it works later (if you are still alive).

Do you realize that they want ALL infidels (non-muslims) dead? Can you get that through you mushy little skull? They don't value peace, Muhammad was a warrior, that's what they respect!

Curt

That would be great but it wouldnt work.

CG-23 Sailor

OK,
You go hug Osama and let me know what happens.
..OH WAIT you wont be able to tell me.
You'll be dead.

This is why some people should be used as human shields!!! This is definitely a good case for birth control and retro active abortions!!!

chewbaccafuzzball

dude, I'm sure if i tried to hug a terrorist, he would shoot me, blow both of us up or a combination of both. peace is a futile dream for pacifists. the only way to stop terrorism is to:

KILL EM ALL, LET GOD SORT EM OUT LATER.

lilrichey85

they should let us blow it up completly!
nuke!

Sgt. VietnamVet

Feel free to hug a suicide bomber.

7am gangster

already been done, doesnt work, still get shot at still get blown up, grow up stupid, this isnt care bears

scott_boxing32

Sorry, don't have an answer to your statement other than a little laughter. Hugs are great until it is accompanied by an IED strapped to the other guys chest.

i dont think anyone has the right 2 say crap if u ant over there fightin in it if u r there and see all thats goin on then u have the right

aussie fallen angel

I agree, as long as the first person to be hugged was george w bush by a guy with 20 kgs of C4 strapped to his body.
Oh & one more thing boo goose, u really r a goose !!
HAPPY 9/11 day,america.

ausblue

kindness & love can works wonders but I dont think it will ever happen. Pride gets in the way

the heid

youve solved it made, the world would be a better place if people cuddled more

Molly

you mean by love & tolerance ... right?
i think it will work .... really

there is diplomacy which would require neither,,, Bush has invaded Iraq on the cheep,, but it hasn't worked very well,,,,
